The Rezidor Hotel Group, the Brussels-based hotel management company, announced the signing of the 200th Radisson hotel in the Rezidor portfolio: the Radisson Hotel Jumeirah Dubai, slated to open at the end of 2009. “To have 200 properties in operation and under development is a significant milestone in our history,” said Kurt Ritter, president & CEO of The Rezidor Hotel Group. “The first Radisson SAS hotel opened in 1960 in Copenhagen, and Radisson has since become one of the leading first class hotel brands in the Europe, the Middle East and Africa.”
The Radisson Hotel Jumeirah Dubai will be located in Jumeirah beach, overlooking The Palm, and within the free zone of Dubai Media City where Rezidor also manages the Radisson SAS Hotel Dubai Media City. Additionally, Rezidor currently manages the Radisson SAS Hotel Dubai Deira Creek and has a fourth hotel under development.
“This has been another very successful year for Rezidor,” says Ritter. “Our goal is to open 20,000 new rooms between 2007 and 2009, and we already have secured 85 percent of our goal.”
